Emilee moved into my Hamptons mansion, which paled in comparison to what she grew up in. Did she hate it? Love it? I wouldn’t know since she hadn't spoken to me once in the three weeks since we got married. If she wasn’t looking at me with disdain, she was acting as if I didn’t exist.

Maybe I made a mistake by giving her a suite of rooms, but I wasn’t going to force myself on her. If she wants to hate me, that’s fine. Just means I need to work a little harder to make that change.

Right now, I’d be happy if she liked me. I can’t even think about love right now. I’d be happy if she just tolerated me.

As I descend the curved staircase with my rolling luggage, I hear Emilee’s voice in the kitchen. I can’t make out her words, but she sounds happy.

Maybe this is the day she gives me a chance.

Leaving my bag in the foyer, I enter the large, country-style kitchen. Reggie is finishing his coffee while Emilee sits at the counter. Her long hair is loose and flowing down her back.

“Good morning,” I say.

“Good morning, Sir,” Reggie says. “I’ve prepared some coffee if you’d like.”

“Thank you, Reggie.”

I turn to Emilee, but she’s already at the doorway. I follow her into the foyer, where she’s grabbing her handbag.

“I just want to let you know that I’m⁠—”

She walks out the front door and pulls it hard behind her. The heavy door makes a dull thud.

“…going to be gone for a few days,” I say.

“I’m sorry, Sir,” Reggie says as he grabs the keys to the limo. “If you’d like, I can let her know.”

“No, she’ll figure it out for herself.” I sigh. “And please stop it with the sir already. You’re family.”

“I’m still doing my job, Sir.” He peers out the window, then turns to me. “You suggested I tell you if there’s anything suspicious with her.”

“Yes. I promised her father I would keep her safe. And…”

“And you already care deeply for her. Even if she’s dismissive of you.”

“There’s something there, Reggie. I can’t explain it, but I know she’s the one. Where are you taking her today?”

“That’s what I was going to tell you. She asked for me to simply drive her around. I suspect she’s looking for him.”

“Great,” I grunt.

“Shall I arrange a car to take you to the airport?”

I open the front door in time to see Emilee slide into the back seat of the limo. Why is she looking for him? Can’t she see she means nothing to him while I’m right here waiting for her?

“Thank you, Reggie, but I think I’ll be driving myself. If it’s alright, I might follow you at a distance for a bit. I need to see this for myself.”

“As you wish, Sir.”

After the limo leaves, I head to my car and put my luggage in the trunk. The private road to my home is so long that I know I have plenty of time to be able to follow them.
